I'm currently 42 and got bitten by this genealogy bug, when I was 13 - 14
working on a 4-H project. I still have many of the materials and family
group sheets from those days. My grandfather just passed away in August and
I have been given a lot of the materials that he had done, of which I am
very thankful. He always was writing things down and making notes on any
scrap of paper he could find.
